In February of 1997 S. A. Holditch & Associates, Inc. did an evaluation of the Bob West Prospect. In the executive summary: The three wells are Hinojosa #1, Guerra #1, and the Luera #1. All three wells were completed in the same geologic equivalent sand, the L20, L21. In each of these wells there are 3 to 5 additional sands with potential for gas production that has not been completed. The following table list the primary zones and the important reservoir estimated for the Hinojosa well. Zone .... Net Pay... Porosity...Water Sat. ...... Perm- .......

Each zone should capable of draining 80 acres when propped fractured to 750 feet. The following chart summaries the results from the analysis. Zone .... Cum. Gross... Cum Undis. Net ... Cum Undis.

Also the cutoff valve for shaliness was 50%, water saturation was 50% and the porosity was 6%.

Not the report states that it is not surprising that the Luera well would have the highest permeability -thickness since this well produced over 2Bcf naturally. The Guerra well produced appr. 800 Mmscf, but hydraulically fractured. The Hinojosa well, which produced the least of the three, was not hydraulically fractured successfully. In generating these forecasts, they assumed a 750 ft propped fracture could be created in each of the sands and the drainage area for each zone would be 80 acres.

More info on Bob West that I've found on the Web: Here's a graph of the area done with a new technology from Numarcorp: numarcorp.com The Society of Petroleum Evaluation Engineers has Texas field rate-time plots: gnofn.org And other interesting information: gnofn.org Related links: gnofn.org This is the link to the Bob West graphs but I got that stupid Netscape "No Data" error when I tried to access it: gnofn.org On SI: techstocks.com Related Explorations: numarcorp.com
